The story of 15th century Prince Vladimir who curses God following the death of his beloved wife and is turned into a vampire. Later, in 19th century London, he discovers his wife’s doppelgänger and dooms himself by pursuing her.
I rather like the fact that Luc Besson has gone off and done his own thing, with "Dracula".
This film freshly blends fantasy, romance, action and a dash of horror. There are lots of creative, dramatic aspects to this story. Its Dracula writ-large. Where it falls down somewhat is its rather abrupt final scenes. There's no real build up, things just happen, leaving it feeling somewhat perfunctory.
In summary, this is a creative, elaborately cinematic take, on the Dracula myth, with lots of lavish, over the top trappings. Certainly worth a look.
